Windows won't detect my terabyte drive I was going to use as storage

[Davidh373]

Hey guys, I really hope you guys can help me because I need this hd. What I did was I installed iAtkos_5i on my custom built comp

 

i7

 

6 gb memory

 

1 150 gig velociraptor (windows 7)

 

2 1 terabyte drives

 

both of those terabyte drives were formatted using os x (I tried formatting as fat 32 and free space, both using mbr, I have also tried deleting the drives). The only thing I can figure is somehow os x is only allowing them to be detected by os x. I have also looked in the disk management in windows and it doesn't even show up there.

 

I would really love to have OS X on my pc in dual boot but first I would like to fix this issue. I am experienced in windows but not so much with os x features like terminal so if you could give me the most information possible in the simplest language that would be wonderful. Thanks All, I hope you can help.

Well if you have them set to SATA in the BIOS then windows xp for certain will need to have the SATA driver for the chipset on the board installed before it will have any hope of seeing them other later versions of windows like vista may need them as well, windows 7 rc1/beta does not need it installed.
